Scott's assistant found the fashion designer hanging from the handle of a French door in her apartment in New York City on Monday morning, the Associated Press had reported, adding that police said no note was found and there was no sign of foul play. The New York City Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday determined the cause of death to be suicide.

Scott, who was 6'3" tall, grew up in Utah with her adoptive Mormon parents and worked as a model in Paris before she turned to fashion design. She launched her label in 2006 and her designs have been worn by the likes of Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman.

According to the Associated Press, Scott's business was struggling. The news wire reported that accounts filed by her company in London show it had liabilities that exceeded assets by 4.24 million euros ($5.9 million) as of Dec. 31, 2012. In February, Scott canceled her London Fashion Week show, citing production delays.
